3 yrs 8 months still unable to work

I don’t know what medicines or supplements you may have tried, but I have had some improvement (though still unable to work) with low-dose naltrexone and more recently N-acetylcysteine (NAC). I know not everyone responds the same way to these drugs, but for me they have at least improved my quality of life to a degree. I have a lot of the same symptoms as you, but no tremors or noticeable numbness.
The low dose naltrexone has helped me most with muscle pain and body aches, and the NAC has been a lifesaver for my GI issues, and I have read that many people do find it helpful for brain fog. I just started it a week ago so I’m still titrating up to the optimal dose.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I take Nurtec for Headaches, Plaquenil for arthritis, Trazadone occasionally for sleep disturbance (I do not like taking), Vit D3 K2, B Complex, EPA/DHA for help with cognitive issues. Recently began SSRI to help with neuro improvement. There have been quite a lot of studies relative to Serotonin helping. Not a fan of taking it as it comes with side effects that I am not enjoying, to say the least. I have heard/read about positive results with NAC. I need to look into that again. May I ask how long you've been out of work? I'm coming up on 4 years. Doing my absolute best to remain positive. Thank you again for sharing your experience. Blessings to you.
